Correct me if I'm wrong but it was because Mexico and the US were kind of fighting between land for Texas and other states?

the compromise of 1850 consisted of 5 bills that avoided a civil war between southern slave states and the northern free states. it stayed in place for 4 years until the Kansas-Nebraska act was placed into effect
